Upon completion of the undergraduate phase, students will obtain a bachelor’s degree and after completing the postgraduate phase they receive a master’s degree.

Research universities and universities of applied sciences award both types of degrees. Institutes for International Education offer master’s programmes, but no bachelor’s programmes.

The Dutch institutions offer more than just bachelor’s or master’s programmes. In this database, you will also find MBA programmes, PhD programmes, courses to gain a certificate or diploma and other types of courses.

Type of education

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a model for comparing higher education in Europe. ECTS credits are awarded for successfully completed studies. ECTS credits indicate how many hours of study are required. In general, one academic year corresponds to 60 ECTS credits (equivalent to 1,500 – 1,800 hours of study).

Individual scholarships is 1 of the 4 instruments of the Orange Knowledge Programme aimed at mid-career professionals.

Course description

This is a specialist course fitting within biological wastewater treatment, designed for sanitary/civil and environmental engineers interested in anaerobic treatment of domestic/industrial wastewater.

Course description

Anaerobic treatment of industrial and domestic wastewater is considered a grown-up and cost effective technology. Anaerobic wastewater treatment (AnWT) requires none or very little energy for operational purposes while producing methane. Treatment of domestic wastewaters is so far restricted to countries with warm climates, a region that often lacks appropriate wastewater treatment systems. A proper understanding of AnWT and related technologies is a prerequisite for implementation and further spreading of environmental protection technologies that are also focusing on resource preservation. Knowledge on cost effective treatment systems for sanitary wastewaters, including domestic sewage, will contribute to setting up adequate sanitation solutions worldwide. After completion of the course, the participants will have a proper understanding of Anaerobic wastewater treatment and technologies; know how to calculate on COD balances; be able to design a basic UASB reactor; know how anaerobic reactor effluent can be treated; be introduced to innovations in anaerobic wastewater treatment such as anaerobic MBRs.

After completion of the course, the participants will:
 have a proper understanding of Anaerobic wastewater treatment (AnWT) and technologies making use of anaerobic treatment
 know how to calculate on COD balances
 be able to design a basic UASB reactor
 know how anaerobic reactor effluent can be treated
 be introduced to innovations in anaerobic wastewater treatment such as anaerobic MBRs

In short, the following rules apply:

The “EU/EEA rate” is the regular fee for students from within the EU/EEA.

The “non-EU/EEA rate” is the rate for students from outside the EU/EEA.

The “institutional rate” is for all students who have already obtained a bachelor’s or master’s degree and who want to start a second programme leading to a degree at the same level or at a lower level.

Note that FT, PT and D stand for "full-time", "part-time" and "dual", respectively.

Make sure you contact your institution to find out what rate applies to you. The rates listed here are estimates.
